Sunderland vs Chelsea: Preview
Sunderland will be looking to end their worrying run of form when they welcome Chelsea to the Stadium of Light on Sunday afternoon, with Régis Le Bris' side facing a difficult challenge.
The Black Cats have endured a difficult few weeks domestically and currently sit bottom of the table with just five points from their opening nine matches. Their latest outing saw them suffer a disappointing 3-1 defeat away at Coventry City.
Thursday's 2-0 home defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League will have done little to improve the mood around Wearside either.
There is, however, reason for optimism. Sunderland completed a league double over Chelsea last season, winning 2-1 both at Stamford Bridge and the Stadium of Light. They will need to rediscover that level of performance if they are to take anything from Sunday's encounter.

Chelsea, meanwhile, arrive in considerably better shape and will be looking to build on their impressive 2-0 victory over Manchester United last weekend. Xabi Alonso's side have collected 16 points from their opening nine league fixtures and currently sit fourth in the table.
The Blues have demonstrated plenty of attacking quality this season, scoring 19 goals in the league so far, thanks in no small part to the performances of Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers.
Alonso will nevertheless be encouraged by his side's response against United, with a clean sheet and two goals providing a timely boost ahead of their trip to the North East.
Reece James, João Pedro, Maxence Lacroix and Jamie Gittens are expected to be unavailable. Emiliano Martínez has returned to training following a fractured jaw, while Estevao could be inline for some more minutes following a scintilating display last weekend.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Sunderland 0-3 Chelsea
An easy success for the Blues on Wearside.
